Tha1 miscreant is named Vaillant. He is ananarchist and has made n. full confession. He soon fell under the suspicionof the authorities, aud when pressed bythe prefect of the police made a full confession, glorying in his dastardly crime.THE PERPETRATOR DETECTED.Among the persons questioned by thepolice yesterday evening wae a man, whose noße was olmoßt blown off by theexplosion of the bomb in the chamber.The suspect gave the name oi Vaillant,and said he lived at ChOßy Leroy. Thisman, who waß attended by physicianssummoned to the refreshment room oftho chamber after the explosion,"wastaken to the Hotel Dieu, after being examined by tiie prefect of police. At thehospital tin, euspect was carefullywatched by four detectives, and it wasnoticed tbat he there gave his name aaMarchal. Thia confirmed the suspicionsalready entertained, and several detectives started with instructions to spendthe night in establishing the identity ofVaillant or Marchal. By morning theprefect of police was in possession ofseveral police reports which made itclear that the man in the Hotel Dienwith his noee almost blown off was adangerous anarchist named Vaillant,who wae born at Mezieree.vaillant's history.Vaillant is 35 years of age. He passedseveral years in Buenoa Ayree, and in1887 returned to France and married.He now has two children. Vaillant,however, coon deserted his wife. Since1884 he haa been identified with the extremist branch of tbe Socialists and withregular anarchist groups; he made himself prominent by the incendiary natureof ej.iu ci:.<e. and eventually becamea member of tbe committee of the revolutionary Socialist group of the eighteenth arrondiasement oi Paris.THE FIEND'S CONFESSION.Early in the day, M. Lepine, prefectof police, the public prosecutorand an examining magistrate visited the Hotel Dieu and had quitea long interview with Vaillant. wholat first protested his innocence and waaquite indignant at the questions put tohim. Finally the public prosecutoreaid:"Your name ie Vaillant and not Marchal, ac you claimed when yon came tothe hospital."After a moment's hesitation, the evapect admitted hia identity, and con"teased that he had thrown the bomb.When questioned ac to hia reasons forattempting to take the lives of so manypeople, Vaillant replied defiantly:"I wiehed to deal a thoroughlydramatic blow at the institutions of thecountry, aud wished to cause a greatsensation, f endeavored to aim thebomb at M. Dupuy. 1 glory in tbe act,and I only regret that my hand swervedand that the numb did not explode nearthe mark."NATURE OF THE BOMB.Vaillant eaid the bomb he used was alittle iron saucepan which was boughtat a bazar near the Hotel de Ville. "Thoeaucepitn, when loaded, contained," besaid, "a unrulier of nails, which yunfound on the fijor of the chamber; inside the saucepan was a tube with acompressed center; in the tube werepicric acid and prneaiat oi soda, theseI being separated h< the point where theI tube wae corr.prteaed by a small ball ol! cotton saturated with sulphuric acid,which, at a given moment, would beconsumed by the sulphuric acid, thusallowing the picric and prusaiat acid toj mix and cause an explosion."I The anarchist then described the va-I riety of objects which he aaid would be! found in his lodgings al the Hotel de 1'I Union, where Vaillant lived under tbaj name idarchal. "But," Vaillant added,• "if you are goimr to search my roomi you had better oe careful in disturbingthings unless you want to be blown topieces. I advise you especially to bacareful in haudiing a box which ia fuiiot explosives.HIS ROOM SEARCHED.M. Kbuillier, Lupine and Meyer, thaexamining judge, accompanied by acommissary of police, went to the Hole;de I* Union aud ascertained that Vaiilanthad eight days previously hired a furnished room iv that eat t,b!. oh men t. Theauthorities found « number of nnibexactly similar to those found scatteiedabout the chamber ot deputies after theexplosion. They also fonnd a saucepaniike the one described by Vaillant, andwhich he had evidently discarded because it was v trifle too Urge tc be carried about without danger of detection.Tho authorities ali : o Sound the trunk described by Vaillant, but it did no*, coatain any explosives.Vaillant continue* to protend uttc indifference aa to tha consequences of hiacrime, and suo '.ks p.j though it did notconcern him in the slightest.KO A' (.•"Mri.iClkX.Tho detectives ex pre.-' tba halicf thatVaillant bad a another ol accompli?**,but Vcillant replies <o ?ll question* withthe remark: "You need net $ ourstdf to tho trouble of searching for accomplices, 1 alone did ki'a deed."All tho scraps of bomb found ate
